A while back at a place of work we recieved a bunch of
Playstation 2 development kits. They came with
various cables and RF magnets. The instructions went
something like this:
--- U.S. and Canada : Attach one RF magnet to each cable. WARNING: It is dangerous to operate the device without the RF magnets attached! UK, Europe and Japan : Discard RF magnets. --- Apparently Sony is not overly concerned with the safety of it's European and Japanese developers.
